    (continued from previous page)
    It is easy to take a horse to water but it is hard to make him drink it.
    A green Christmas makes a fat churchyard.
    A little pot will soon be hot.
    Do not want while your neighbour has it.
    A half burned coal is easily kindled.
    Promise little and do much.
    Acts speak louder than words.
    Be just before you are generous.
    Business first and pleasure after.
    To advise is easier than to help.
    Ill gotten ganes never prosper.
    Virtue is fairer far than beauty.
    A constant drop would wear a stone.
